8414.30.80.10 - Not exceeding 200 horsepower

This HTS category encompasses screw-type compressors specifically designed for use in refrigerating and air conditioning equipment, with a power rating not exceeding 200 horsepower. These compressors utilize a rotating screw mechanism to compress refrigerant gases, forming a vital component in systems that control temperature and humidity for various applications, from commercial refrigeration to residential air conditioning. The classification hinges on both the specific type of compressor mechanism (screw type) and its intended application within refrigeration or air conditioning units.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS code 8414.30.80.20, by the horsepower rating of the compressor. While both are screw-type compressors for refrigerating equipment, this classification applies only to those with a power output of 200 horsepower or less. Compressors exceeding this horsepower threshold would be classified under the sibling code, reflecting a distinction based on operational capacity and likely scale of application.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. The classification is determined at this level based on the type of compressor mechanism (screw), its application (refrigerating equipment), and its horsepower rating. Therefore, an item meeting these precise criteria, and not exceeding 200 horsepower, falls squarely within this designation.
